If you look at it this way, it would be Russia + Iran + INDIA + Pakistan + China. Do you really think that India will miss out a 2.2 - 2.5 billion consumer market by staying away from the CPEC? This would bring a lot of competition to Indian products and services that India enjoys monopoly today (IT / BPO / Agriculture, etc), but it would also benefit over half a billion poor Indians and millions of smaller businesses inside India, who otherwise, couldn't afford to go to the West or sell or market their products to the West. What cheaper way to expand your business by truck, being connected to three times the size of your local market!!
The US would oppose it but no matter how you look at it, India will join the CPEC when it becomes a reality and they realize the benefits. It makes no sense to push something good away that can help you grow over half a billion of your own average people, and get your small businesses to become richer, while making peace with two of your major enemies!! You just can't beat the benefits and you also can't be at a war with any of these countries you share borders with. Those days have become history. This entire region is highly nuke-risk centered and no one would be left to even have an economy after a war (let alone "one of the top economies", the status India, China and now Pakistan enjoy). So why push something away that grows people, eliminated enemies and make them friends??
India may be interested in CPEC but why do think Pakistan and China would entertain India. Does not make any sense at all. China and Pakistan would surely keep India out of CPEC as that is in the strategic interest of both of them.
